Pretty In Pink:
The Painting Process

When it comes to Easter egg paining, many people just go with the flow. They're more improvisational with their style and colors like Jackson Pollock. They let the paint fly, and don't worry about complimentary colors or specific designs.
Others however, are more precise and detailed, more in the style of Salvador Dali or Leonardo da Vinci. They plan ahead, ensuring everything flows according the design they've planned. They ensure everything is neat, and visually organized.
Then there's the combo, maybe a little like Pablo Picasso. It was Picasso, along with his friend Georges Braque, who invented a new style of painting called cubism. Inspired by African sculpture, Picasso and Braque used simple shapes and a small range of colours to paint objects, people and landscapes.
I think I blend the painting processes in both my art, and my writing. I tend to do a lot of pre-planning and research, and try to ensure everything is laid out a clean and precise way. Then, when it's time to write the text, I tend to go with the flow, sometimes ending up places I never foresaw at the beginning.
12 Days: Benjamin Hollingsworth in An Easter Bloom 🌼
'A young gardener sets out to save her family farm by entering a floral competition for Easter. She meets a local pastor along the way who helps her restore the hope she lost.'
If you're a Hallmark fan, or a fan of television in general, I'm guessing you've seen and enjoyed projects featuring actor Benjamin Hollingsworth. The Canadian actor was born in Ontario and graduated from the National Theatre School of Canada in 2006. Even before he graduated however, Benjamin was already making his mark, appearing in Canadian based film and television shows.
